Amarillo Design Bureau offers GURPS Prime Directive, which is close to a Star Trek game. It's set in their "Star Fleet Battles" universe, which is a sort of "alternate world" of The Original Series where all the species from the old series, and some new ones they invented or borrowed, got into a galactic war at some point.

If you like your Klingon's smooth-headed and your female Starfleet officers in mini-skirts, that's one way to go.

"On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
- Charles Babbage (1791 - 1871)

Looking over "Captain Joy's" Templetes and lens he is a splitter. Separate skills for skill for each piece of equipment for example..

A skill for housekeeping? Why are we spending points on that?

" Your hobby may not be something overtly useful to combat and adventuring e.g. fencing, a martial art)" It seems a particularly gamist restriction. Fencing? Really? How often do starfleet officers have a sword with them?

Well I'm not playing in his game. The more I play the more of a lumper I become. It wars with my desire for detail. However, time and tide have proven that lumping makes for a quicker and more satisfying game.
